The Lumix GF2 has been announced. Looks very nice. |

I have been wanting a micro 4/3 camera and will consider this when I'm ready to upgrade from my point and shoot.

3. BTW, Olympus and Sony make nice cameras. The |

Sony has a larger sensor, but it is rather unorthodox.

4. I have looked at the Olympus micro 4/3 |
|
didn't realize Sony had one too.
I read a few comments on a review site of the GF2, some people were snarking at the touchscreen capability!

5. It's not a micro 4/3, but an APC. It's a larger sensor than m4/3 |

But I can tell you, you should be able to get great deals on the Lumix GF1 now that a new model has been released. The lumix will probably be better as a learning platform because it isn't aimed at the novice. Lumix has good glass from what I've read.

because I don't really care about the touchscreen - yeah, I bet there will be good deals!
That Sony looks interesting! Thanks for the links :-)
